Allow it to dissolve

People are taught the more they read and absorb, they more they know, the more knowledge they have. This is ego.  It creates the illusion of dissatisfaction, restlessness and insecurity.

Devotion is another dimension of intelligence.  It is often interchanged with the term, prayer. Yet, one can be devoted without praying and one can pray without being devoted. Devotion itself is not about repeating methodology.  It is not about doing.  Rather, its about being aware.   Devotion implies being selfless, de-void of Self, not self-interested.  It is merging with the flow.

Notice the nature of creativity has nothing to do with intellect.  When someone plays music by ear, the person is not learning.  The person is being one with the harmony. For someone to step outside the natural rhythm to teach how something was done, the very describing of it takes something away, makes the reptition mechanical.  You require no teacher to listen to the heart.

Kahlil Gibran echoes 'The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind.' True nature cannot be taught or learned.  Many people come to think they have to struggle to be themselves.  The truth is any struggle you encounter is your own-self-created resistance.  Be aware and allow it to dissolve.

3 Ways to know truth for yourself

Everything in life is a pointer that invites you to experience greater clarity. Imagine you are a mirror and choose to polish it. Ask yourself what it is to feel liberated. This is grasped in relation to its opposite. You measure heartfelt wisdom through direct experience.  Explore how it feels.

1) Let go of your reasons.  You are your own judge and jury.  Life gives you all the evidence to confirm what you value.  Be aware of how you navigate through life.  What represents your compass and reference points? Let them go. The helm of the ship knows how to steer itself.

2) Allow the Self to disappear. Be aware of what you cling to and how you create stepping stones or maps to follow in life.  Ponder the possibility that you do things for no reason.  Only the truth knows why things happen.  The mind can only imagine ideas of the truth.  You cannot change something using the same level of consciousness that creates it. Something sees beyond.

3) Say nothing.  See everything.  Nature is an infinite spectrum of miracles.  You are a telescope.  What you see is limited by filters. See them as they are and they dissolve instantly. 

Live the truth of yourself

Live the truth of yourself.  Who you truly are exists beyond all your illusions and fear. Humans create mental barriers to block seeing true self.  Fear is warden of this imaginary prison.

Know everyone is a messenger bringing self a message from the heart and soul. May you recognize the soulful message of loving kindness. Share who you are in all you do and do not do, all you say and all you do not say. Be aware of all you are and always have been, all you will forever be. Every thought you create, every choice you make, either conceals the love you are or expands on it. Notice how it feels to be aware that every being, all things, are divine.

Get in touch with inner radiance

Let this be the moment you begin to recognize the silence of the supreme being that is you.  The observer is simply a stepping stone to freeing yourself from your own ego.  As the will to shift focus is awakened, all sense of hopelessness and restlessness falls away.  Get in touch with your existing inner radiance.  You are creating new ways of being.

Recognize each person is his own key to realizing he is not his imagined limitations.  You are not stuck in any place or state of mind. Enter the self that is beyond language, time and space.  Rather than seek blessings and advice, recognize you are the giver of your own joy and blessings, the answer to your prayers.  The world transforms through your love and harmony.  Imagine energy is spiralling through the entire body and third eye.  Imagine this truth is known everywhere.  You are bridging heaven and Earth.

Be willing to;

1) Detach from/ stop identifying with suffering

2) Be aware of what is constant

3) Dwell in devotion and joy and share that self

Be still

The mind tells what it thinks is and is not. Mind also tells you what you should and should not do.  It tells you to always try to do something, be someone, get somewhere other than where you are.  Even the response of the mind is a response to duality. The mind asks, is THAT it? Know you are that.

Within the mind's understanding, all experience happens in time and has a beginning and an end. Do not identify with the voice that anticipates what is next.  You are not the commentary, the voice that leads you to think you are not enough and there has to be more. The"real you" knows knowledge and ignorance.   The mind uses words to conceptualize what it cannot touch. Be still.  Feel what is real.

Watch what happens as you see yourself as the space.  This kind of seeing is not an action but a state of being.  Keep your attention here.  Recognize 'you' can never be anywhere else except in the mind.  True experience is never 'there'.  Stillness is here.

Be aware a voice asks, 'how can I stay here?' Listen to the voice and you come to fear losing who you are. You think it is possible to lose yourself. That voice is illusion. You cannot NOT be here. Find out what is tells you to exert effort to be here, to be yourself. Recognize the voice of doubt is not truth.
